Broadway Bike Tour in NYC with Authentic Dutch Bikes — Brooklyn Bridge to Times Square
Pedal from Brooklyn across the Brooklyn Bridge and through Broadway’s most storied neighborhoods on an easygoing 2.5-hour guided tour using upright Dutch bikes.

The Experience
Before You Go
Book morning departures
Morning rides have fewer pedestrians and cooler temperatures—ideal for photos and comfortable cycling.
Bring a water bottle
Hydration is key on a 2.5-hour urban ride—refillable bottles fit easily in the bike basket.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy footwear helps control the upright Dutch bike pedals and navigate quick stops.
Use lights if evening tour
If you ride at dusk, flip on bike lights and reflective layers—Times Square lights can obscure visibility.

The Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1883 and reshaped movement between boroughs; Broadway evolved from a pre-colonial trail into the cultural spine the tour traces.
